When it comes to choosing a travel healthcare staffing agency, AB Staffing is here to guide you through the process. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler looking for a new agency or recently exploring the opportunity, we offer these tips for how to choose an agency that’s the right fit for you and your family.

Work with One Recruiter
In our article, Myths About Travel Nursing, we write about how travelers think their agency just leaves them after they are placed. When you partner with AB Staffing, we are with you every step of the way.
We aren’t like other agencies that may bounce you around from recruiter to recruiter. We value the relationship we have with our healthcare professionals and want to be sure you’re happy with where you are matched.
If you’re not sure about a particular agency, ask questions. Making good connections and feeling comfortable with a recruiter is important for you to continue to work with them throughout your entire contract and beyond.
Access to a Variety of Jobs through the Travel Healthcare Staffing Agency
It should go without saying that if an agency has a variety of jobs and a number of them, you will be able to work with that agency for a while. Explore the AB Staffing Job Board by position, specialty, or location to see what is available.
- Are you looking for a federal position that accepts your license?
- Do you want to give back to a community in need and work at an IHS facility?
- Are you looking for work in a related specialty to the one you’re in now?
- Do you prefer being in a big city close to amenities?
Having an agency that has access to a variety of jobs is essential to building your career and achieving your goals, both career and personal.
Easy Access to Your Recruiter
When you need to talk to your recruiter, you need them to be responsive and answer your questions in a timely manner. If the agency you’re currently with isn’t meeting your needs, it’s time to search for another agency.
At AB Staffing, our recruiters go above and beyond to answer your questions and match you to contracts that fit your lifestyle.
In-House Credentialing, Payroll, and Housing
Ask if your agency outsources these services or if they have in-house staff. It’s a lot easier to get questions answered if you can call into one office. Not to mention that the team will be able to seamlessly work together to find the answers you need in a timely manner. If you’re having to reach out to multiple places for credentialing, payroll, and housing, it can fill up your inbox quickly. We understand you don’t have that kind of time and that’s why we work together on your behalf.
